Metro plans to partner with the Snoqualmie Tribe to launch an intra-valley shuttle to improve transit service in the communities of Duvall, Carnation, Fall City, Snoqualmie and North Bend. The service is part of a five-year demonstration program aimed at developing more cost-effective alternatives to fixed-route service in rural areas of the county.

The proposal now goes to the King County Council.The shuttle will provide 90 minute service weekdays between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. and will offer variable routing in Duvall and North Bend. In these areas, the shuttle will be able to deviate from its regular route to pick up and drop off passengers.
